Kennels and Catteries. Some take in strays so if you are looking for a rescue animal give them a call.

Outstanding! My elderly cat's first stay here - accommodation so clean and warm with a choice of places to sleep / perch (toys provided).
She ate well, was given medication daily, was groomed and very well looked after. I really felt Lynn had taken the trouble to get to know her during her stay and I have made a further booking.

Vets

Everyone from the receptionists to the vets are really lovely people. They genuinely care for the pets that are taken in. They also explain everything to you about what is wrong with your pet and what they can do to help. I highly recommend these vets to everyone!

Great staff and care taken while treating our dog. Brilliant VET Graham.

Having recently moved to this surgery from another local vets, I feel all members of staff act with care and consideration for my pets. Especially when I lost my dog, they were so patient, kind and thoughtful. I'm also very happy with the health care plan that I have recently taken out for my Dog and Cat, excellent value for money. I would highly recommend this surgery for anyone moving to the area.

Early days for us with the new take over by Medivet but they seem nice people and can't complain so far.
Staff are helpful with the admin and forms for PetPlan.

Government site explaining what you have to do to bring your pet dog, cat or ferret into (or back into) the UK through the Pet Travel Scheme (or PETS for short) without putting it into quarantine. It also explains the requirements for bringing many other types of pet animals into the UK. This site also tells you about quarantine in the UK for animals that don't qualify for PETS.

This has got much more humane. The Pet Travel Scheme allows pet animals from certain countries to enter the UK without quarantine, as long as they meet certain conditions. The Scheme also means that people in the UK can, having taken their pets to these countries, bring them back without the need for quarantine
